Re: Starmade

I've been waiting for a decent voxel-based spaceship game. I'm currently put off by the textures and design, preferring something a little more hard sci-fi than "Drop thruster blocks whereever." But I'll at least give it a shot. Thanks for posting this.

Re: Forest fires

I can think of a few ways. My favorite would be not knowing that flour can be an explosive in the right circumstances.

Re: Kerbal Space Program 0.21 is out!

I like to play with the RemoteTech mod installed. This is one of those mods that adds gameplay by creating a subsystem requiring additional thinking. In this case, remote control actually requires a radio link, and you can bounce radio signals through other ships. The reason I like it is because it ...

Re: [1.5.2] [4.891] Biomes O' Plenty 0.0.8 - BTW Edition

OK, I loaded this up and gave it a whirl. Here are my first impressions. I find the sky colors to be jarring. Not the colors themselves, but the rapid transition when crossing biomes. One second the sky is pink, then I move 1 meter over and it's blue. It happens so fast that the first time I saw it ...

Re: [1.5.2] [4.89] Biomes O' Plenty 0.0.7 - BTW Edition

So I'm super excited about a terrain generation add-on. But I'm also wary, because if a terrain gen mod stops being supported, any world you generated with it could be rendered unusable. So my question is this: what happens if I start generating a world with this mod installed, then uninstall it? Wi...

Re: Hardcore Spawn is finished

As probably an extreme example of a builder, I too was not initially a huge fan of hardcore spawn. I played with it on because I hate "cheating," but since I chose a seed with a beautiful spawn location, If I died I'd just start a new world. This last time I've finally survived long enough...

Re: Incredibly useful early-game builds

As far as I can tell, Monsters don't recognize trapdoors as valid paths. Which sucks because you can't use them in, you know, TRAPS. Of course I might be entirely wrong: I haven't run extensive tests or checked the code. I simply have never observed a monster stand on a trap door in my entire Minecr...

Re: Tales of Woe: how has a feature of BTW killed your steve

Like many of us who've settled near an ocean biome, I tend to make forays by boat at night. I tend to think of the ocean as safe. I had forgotten the tales of the Kraken. Suddenly, a mass of writhing tentacles erupts from beneath the waves, directly in the path of me ship. I try to steer around them...

Re: Incredibly useful early-game builds

Trap door drawbridge.

Theoretically, Zombies cannot stand in front of the folded up trap door to pound on it, on account of the pit.

At least, I haven't lost one yet. I haven't extensively tested zombie reach.

Re: Incredibly useful early-game builds

As far as walls go, I find two cobble stairs make a great wall. The first is rightways up, the second is inverted on top. It's a spider ledge that doesn't provide shade for the undead to hide in, and visually caps a wall nicely.

Re: WH40K and Flower's only other modding project

Cover save is actually WAY more important these days, as the typical unit carries a weapon with an AP value high enough to ignore their own armor. Those cover saves are usually the only defense you get. 5th edition did heavily favor the *CHARGE* approach, as melee was much deadlier than shooting and...

Panda, I think you'd also make a fine Lord Monocromicorn.

It's more like 5/6ths the battle. Meet people. Talk to them. Find areas of common interest and explore them. Introduce them to something new. Let them do the same. Show off a little, at something you're good at. It will either develop from there or it won't. If it doesn't go anywhere from there, it'...
